Oolite Bulletins

Virii is the plural of virus James. From memory it also covers the components of which a virus is made.

NASA seems to have been dragging it's feet for decades with regard to the production of spacecraft. It's also curious that there have been few, if any, airframes designed since the late fifties. Regrettably the planet we live on seems to be in some way mis-engineered and we lurch from ecological dis...

I found that Oolite (1.76) ran significantly better under Debian and Fedora than Ubuntu on three machines so far. As the machines are of different architecture and built over a decade apart I figure it must be Ubuntu that performs poorly, but then I've seen a number of people here using Ubuntu with ...

I heard that MS plan to charge users for virii.. ?

I thought his anniversary speech odd - 'breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of truth's protective layers'. I wonder what he knew that we do not. A great man and a true patriot of his country.

You do realise we'll insist on photos?...

It was absolutely fascinating. Some guys saying that it was beyond the engineering abilities of the time and one guy making a similar mechanism using hand-tools. Hats off to Archimedes.

Heh - R Type! Great game and cool idea, shame it can't be employed usefully here.

I remember that many Polish laid down their lives to deliver a machine to the Allies. Well, gave up their lives full stop. There are entire cemeteries dedicated to Polish war dead. I used to pass one on the way to a client site. Whenever there was a one way ticket mission the Polish would be in the ...

Thanks guys for sorting me out again. You have the patience of saints.

Er… are you sure you’re not confusing it with this completely different Colossus? :-) I don't think so Ahruman, here is one account although it differs from the account that I originally read in some details. I suspect that their estimate of 5.8 ghz is in error... from memory approx 5.2 ghz is the ...

Great looking ship!

You know your in way too deep when you start enjoying tea from the vending machine.

That's a relief... it must be nearly Pi time! Anyone here got one?

Cheers Gimbal Locke! That's gonna make things a bit easier in Linux
